Las Vegas, NV
Las Vegas is the second-highest pool density market in the US after Phoenix. Year-round operating season, premium pricing, and a steady inflow of new residential builds in Henderson, Summerlin, and North Las Vegas. The hospitality industry concentrates one of the densest commercial pool markets in the country (every Strip resort has 2 to 6 pools). Pool service in Las Vegas is one of the most operator-friendly small business markets in the US.

Operator playbook
Operating in Las Vegas and Henderson
Opportunities

- HOA pool contracts in Summerlin and Henderson pay $400 to $750 per month per pool
- Older Vegas pools (built 1990s to early 2000s) need acid washes and replasters; significant equipment service market

Challenges
- Hospitality wages pull experienced techs away from residential; retain by overpaying or by offering daytime-only schedules
